Second flnnual Senior: 'Jnip High school days are over for the class of I957, but we still have ten more days to enioy the companionship of our classmates and thrill to many of the beautiful and interesting sights in our Nation 's Capital and the East. This is an experience which will always be cherished and is a fitting climax to formal education for an understanding and deserving Senior Class. Forty one seniors and Sponsors will board an air-conditioned air ride bus early Saturday Morning May 25. The first day will be spent traveling through Indiana and Ohio, stopping at a beautiful Park in Columbus, Ohio for a picnic dinner. Pittsburg will be reached in early evening and the night will be spent at the Roosevelt Hotel. Just outside Pittsburg we will reach the famed Pennsylvania Turnpike and will travel through scenic Allegheny Mountain country and pass through seven tunnels. After lunch at Carlisle, a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield will be made and we will enter Washington going down Embassy Row on the way to'the Franklin Park Hotel which will be home for three nights. Washington is known as the city of Magnificent Distances.
